New Arrivals

The new ribbons and felt embellishments from Creative Impressions arrived this week. Fun grid ribbons that curls super easy and great felt blooms and leaves in bright, heritage, and pastel colors. We just love these blooms. Plus we got some darling baby rick rack, so cute.

We got all the new Stampington magazines in too. You have to check these out, they are just full of great ideas and tons of inspiration. Beautiful stuff!

Make N Take Super Sunday

Yep, that's right, this week's make n take will be on Sunday. Downtown will be celebrating the holidays with all the store's being open, music and refreshments. We will be open from 11 am to 4 pm this Sunday only.

Come in and make a Santa magnet. They are very pretty magnets made with glass baubles and vintage Santa images. There will be several images from you to choose from. These are perfect to go on your fridge to hold artwork, naughty and nice lists, and holiday photos.

Hope to see you Sunday!

Cookies, Anyone??!?!?!

Acrylic Pail & Recipe Book Class with Cookie exchange

$20.00 tax included

Thursday, December 6 at 6 pm

scissors & adhesive required

In this class, you will decorate a clear gallon pail with cardstock stamps, glitter, ribbon and fabric. We will be using the Cuttlebug to do some embossing. This pail is super cute. We will also be making a matching recipe book with the same embellishments.

Here's the fun part: it's a cookie exchange, too. You will need to bring 6 of your favorite holiday cookies for each participant, plus enough copies of your recipe for everyone.

The recipe needs to be on a 4x6 recipe card or on any 4x6 piece of cardstock--if your recipe carries over onto the back please use another card, so that they fit into the book nicely. Please feel free to stop down to the store if you need some recipe cards for the class.

The pail will hold a few cookies, but you will need to bring along something to take all your cookies home in.

We have a limit of 10 for this class, that's 5 dozen (60) cookies to bake and exchange.

This should be a blast and a perfect way to get a variety of cookies without having to do so much baking. Plus you'll go home with a great gift and book full of fabulous recipes.

All participants must pay for the class upon reserving your spot. You can pay by phone with a credit card, mail a check, or stop in the store.

A few new things!!!

Some fun new items arrived at the Playground on Tuesday. Frosted Prima's in two new colors, Stampendous Class A Peels, Frost A Peels, and some great holiday acrylic stamps from Stampendous.

We have a Cookie Exchange Clear Gallon Pail class with a chipboard recipe book coming up soon, both were designed with the holiday stamps seen here. I will post pictures tomorrow along with a date and time.

The Class A Peel's are just simply gorgeous, they add so much to cards and other art projects. Just like they say on the label: Class.

We got fun new grid ribbon in today and some awesome felt embellishments, along with some darling baby rick rack. I'll get pictures posted tomorrow along with the info about the class. And I forgot that we are going to do a Gift Tag workshop coming up soon, also.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Birthday Mom !!!!

Okay, so I'm a little late in the posting this, but I just had to do it! My mom, Nancy, celebrated her birthday on Sunday and I just wanted to wish her more love & wishes.

I love you lots and lots Mom. So blessed to have you!

Just had to share this adorable picture of her with all of you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Just Checking In...

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has recovered from some serious shopping. We are expecting lots of new things this week at the Playground. We have some great new ribbons and baby rick rack coming from Creative Impressions, along with some fun new felt flowers. Also, we have some fun new acrylic embellishments that will be tons of fun with alcohol inks and rub-ons. Can't wait to get to play. I will post pictures as items arrive.

I thought I would post this awesome layout that Kay did with a Fancy Pants transparency. We have several transparencies from Fancy Pants to choose from, and they make scrap booking super fast, super easy, and make your pages look incredible. You have to give them a try. Kay was done with this layout in a matter of minutes and it's fabulous.
